Low Fat Doesn’t Mean No Fat

Calorie Intake is Major Predictor of Weight Loss

Although the studies differed in their carbohydrate and caloric intake, among other variables, the team was able to draw one overriding conclusion: "The greatest predictors of weight loss appear to be caloric intake and diet duration," says Dr. Dena Bravata of Stanford´s Center for Primary Care & Outcomes Research.

People on diets of 60 or fewer grams of carbohydrates a day (a threshold used by many low-carb diets) did lose weight, but the loss was invariably associated with eating less and dieting longer, rather than carbohydrate intake. "The findings suggest that if you want to lose weight, you should eat fewer calories and do so over a long time period," says Bravata.
